hey,
in my experience depression always comes along w/an ed. you should definitely tell your therapist if u have been feeling this way, esp. if u are thinking of killing yourself . . . your family must not understand the hell u r goin through if they say that u are feeling sorry for yourself too much. u r not "feeling sorry about yourself too much," u r just really depressed & i think meds would help a lot. ive seen a lot of my friends get better w/meds. & insurance usually covers most of it, although it depends on the insurance. can u seriously talk to your parents & try to make them understand that u need the appointments & meds? or have your therapist do it for u?
this isnt a problem that u should have to deal w/by yourself!! if u feel that u r letting your parents down by taking meds--dont! cuz if u dont try the meds, u will probably be letting yourself down. & dont think that u will be on the meds forever, cuz once they work, u go off them & things continue to go well.
good luck & im praying for u!
